Flashtool... submenu file -> switch pro, than submenu advanced -> trim area -> backupYou can make a TA backup in FlashTool? How? Also, how do you run gdisk on your phone?
No but if you run "dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=gpt.img count=10" you'll get the first 10 blocks of mmcblk0, which should contain the partition map. That's what I was referring to. Or are you simply running gdisk on the phone itself?
I dont know what is diferencie between /dev/block/mmcblk0XX and /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/PARTITION_NAME but I think there is diferencie since thats platform implementation for disk management on msm sdcc ... all partitions is labeled by "name", everybody use platform path instead of using standard /dev/blocl/mmcblk0 path! My sugestion to you is do not play with your phone internal memory if you want your phone no dead, forget gdisk and mmcblk0, playing with them is danger for your phone!
I need (.SIN_FILE_SET) for program s1tool for Sony Z1 compact...sorry for flood
Probably he bricked his trim area? If that is true than probably his phone will remain bricked! Only way (not tested) to unbrick (first thing he need before full unbrick) his trim area is to make ftf file which will contain ta.img, but ta.img can not be DD method backup (mean ta backuped by trim area partition dump maded by dd command), he must have ta.img maded by flash tool since only flash tool can make these ta.img speciific format! If he have no ta.img maded by flash tool than probably hi must convert his ta backup to these specific format, I can not help in that since never converted that and have no idea how to convert that, he must analyse by self. Bricking trim area is very dangerous and probably phone get totaly bricked without a way for unbricking (I never done that so I can not confirm for sure these thing)! His errors in s1tool flashing procedure probably coming up with reason (trim area brick)?
Hi! Yesterday I done stupid thing to my phone which hard bricked my phone Played with GPT gdisk, restored wrong gpt backup which killed my device, phone was dead after reboot, had no fastboot, had no bootloader, only had led blinking red-green . But good news I have repaired my phone sucesfully ! Was a bit lucky since I saved my GPT backup so after unbricking I restored my GPT, than restored TA, rebooted and flashed everything normaly. Device finaly booted :highfive:
WARNING TO ALL:
1. DO NOT PLAY WITH FDISK OR GDISK IF YOU NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING SINCE YOUR DEVICE WILL BE HARD BRICKED !!! If you mess your gpt table or change them your device can not be flashed using pc companion or flashtool!!! If you brick gpt table than you will notice hard brick, so my segestion is: do not be stupid like me!!! I was very stupid yesterday and done very bad thing to my new phone using these tools.
Searched for about an hour for pins on my phone and finaly found test point pins, hope picture will save your time, nerve and your device!
I hard bricked my xperia z1c by flashing an official firmware. I had cyanogenmod before, so basically, the phone doesn't turn on and i took off the battery and everything basically. It flashes red without a battery plugged into my PC but when charging with a battery on my wall, the LED is green. It won't turn on or go into flash mode so I can't use Sony Companion or any updating software. My computer always recognizes ADB driver but it says it fails. So can someone please give me step by step on how to do this/ I'm pretty sad because I just got this phone about a month ago and my warranty just ran out so if someone could do a step by step tutorial like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2646405 or a YouTube tutorial, I'd be very happy.

Proably you have flashed Xperia Z1 rom instead of Z1 Compact rom! Simptoms is black screen but your pc recognise usb device. You no need test point! Simple reinstall Sony PC Companion, reboot your pc, than disconnect usb cable from your phone, than press and hold at the same time volume up + power button until your phone vibrate 3 times, than download an ftf file for Z1 Compact, than install flash tool, than start flashtool software, flash your ftf file, when flash tool ask you to enter into flash mode you need to press and hold volume down button and connect usb cable after that, after that your phone will start flashing. Hope this help.
